Since the four Rogue One figures were split across two waves now, I guess we should have a thread for this wave too... no word on case assortment yet. Hopefully it goes 3x each like the Wave 6 case had for Jyn and Deathtrooper.

Another exclusive confirmed by Hasbro's Rogue One Product Checklist... no pics yet though.

Rey vs Kylo; Poe vs TIE Pilot; Finn vs FN-2199.

Not sure if this is like three 2-packs packed together or what. It would be great if the Kylo in the set is the "Ben" maskless head version. That would be a nice way for those missing him or the Riot Control Stormtrooper aka FN-2199 (aka "TRAITOR!" guy) to finally nab them.

We stand on the cusp of a new season..... and I gotta tell you, I'm a bit worried for my squad.

Will the maigc of Bruce Boudreau help us make the playoffs?Will the Avs finally get a clue with their new coach?Have the Jets finally figured out Pavelec is bad (put him on waivers today)?Will STL implode or finally live up to the hype?

Central Division dogfight again this year. So many good teams, so many teams on the up and coming... and then my squad still trying to figure out which they are and hoping they are not the one falling to earth to make room for the "young and hungry" Jets or "glad to be rid of Roy" Avs.

Tomorrow is Hasbro's panel at NYCC. Should be interesting to see if there is any more that will be revealed before the movie... definitely sounds like there is more 3.75" and 6" in the pipeline, just a matter of when they are going to reveal it.

2016 NYCC Panel details:

October 06, 2016, 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM (ET)Room 1A21Join members of the Hasbro Star Wars team as they discuss the ever popular Hasbro Star Wars line that hit shelves this fall! Attendees will get an in-depth look at Hasbro's latest action figure offerings with a look at new product coming later this year.

Kohls has an exclusive box set that has some deco vaiants of four figures from the Rogue One 'versus' 2-packs. Like a poo dirt splattered Deathtrooper and a White Pauldron Stormie (repaint of Orange Pauldron Stormie that is packed with Baze in Wave 2).
